MicroStation 95Bentleys rock-solid upgradeis both refined and supercharged, so you get improved handling and better performance.
MicroStation 95 lets you customize the working environment, or workspace, to suit individual, project, site, organization, or discipline-specific needs and specifications. Template workspaces are delivered with MicroStation 95 for architecture, civil engineering, mechanical drafting, and mapping disciplines. You can make the design files, cell libraries, and other information you need for a project available by default. MicroStation 95s default user interface can even be simplified for new users or users who are transitioning from other CAD packages. Comprehensive online Help puts MicroStation 95s documentation at your fingertips. Search on key words and topics. Even leave the Help dialog box open while you work to provide on-context detail or guidance with MicroStations functionality and tools. Its an effective way to speed the learning process and increase productivity.
MicroStation 95 provides user-level programmability through MicroStation BASIC. With MicroStation BASIC, there is now a simple way to improve your productivity by automating often-used sequences of operations without learning highlevel language development skills or being limited by legacy languages. In its simplest form, a MicroStation BASIC macro drives MicroStation 95 in much the same way a user does. Among other things, tools and view controls can be selected, key-ins can be entered, dialog boxes can be manipulated, and elements can be modified. An intuitive record/playback tool, a robust editing environment, and an easy-to-use dialog builder are all part of MicroStation BASIC. You can also write MicroStation BASIC macros for MDL applications. Once completed, the MicroStation BASIC program, either the source code or the binary file, can then be used on all supported MicroStation 95 platforms.
and letting you globally edit symbology. Multi-lines, or multiple parallel lines, can be used to efficiently represent walls, ductwork, or piping in a drawing. Multi-lines can include up to 16 parallel lines, each with its own line style, color, weight, and level. MicroStation 95 features truly associative dimensions, patterns, and hatching. Dimensions can be directly associated to the graphics they describe, and are updated automatically when the graphics are modified. Likewise, patterns and cross-hatching can be associated to their bounding graphics so they are automatically regenerated when the boundaries are changed. Boolean unions, differences, and intersections can be used to quickly define hatching areas for complex collections of shapes. interface and adds disciplinegraphers, engineers and drafters. Settings groups provide a simple way to automate tool settings and selection. Selecting a user-defined group component, such as a cell, can automatically set the target graphic parameters, select the cell from a cell library, and start the Place Cell tool. The cell is displayed dynamically as you position it in the drawing, letting you know youve selected the correct symbol. Pre-defined dimension and multiline definitions, based on industry standards such as ISO, ANSI, and DIN, are stored in settings groups for easy recall. Dimension-driven design lets you apply constraints to graphics. You can define geometric relationships between elements, such as tangency of a line to a point on a circle. Or you can constrain elements dimensionally or with equations. Once constraint relationships have been established, variables can be assigned to dimensioned graphics and the whole saved as a cell. The variables can then be defined dynamically as the cell is placed. Dimension-driven cells are an efficient way to define and store families of parts and symbols that differ only dimensionally. Drawing Composition helps you organize your designs into efficient, readable drawings. 3D models can be unfolded into standard, orthographic views that will automatically update when the model is changed. In addition, there are options to display and plot various hidden line or visible edge representations of attached models. Bidirectional associativitey lets you detail sheet files with associative dimensions so that, when you change the model or the associated dimension, the respective dimension or model changes accordingly.
AccuDraw and SmartLine productivity tools that define easy data input.
MicroStation 95s visualization tools can be enhanced with MicroStation Masterpiece. MicroStation Masterpiece provides raytracing with true transparency, reflections, refraction and colored shadows as well as an image library CD, environment mapping, the ability to process multiple saved images from multiple design files in batch mode, and more. Animation Producer combines keyframing with hierarchical and parametric motion control. Like other MicroStation products from Bentley, it is seamlessly integrated into MicroStation 95 through MDL.
